In the top of the 14th, <strong>Justin Maxwell<\/strong> walked with the bases loaded to force in the winning run off of <strong>Oliver Perez<\/strong>. Maxwell&#8217;s <em>disappointing<\/em> at bat (he was 3-5 with 3 HRs with the bases loaded) was enough for <strong>Miguel Batista<\/strong> to earn the save in the bottom of the inning and for <strong>Joel Peralta<\/strong> to earn the win. The bullpen pitched 7 1\/3 of its league leading 545 2\/3 innings yesterday, after <strong>Livan Hernandez<\/strong> was pulled in the 7th inning with one out. The 3.33 ERA was 4th in the majors and seventh-best among bullpens that threw 540 or more innings. Good job boys and GM <strong>Mike Rizzo<\/strong> in assembling it.<\/p>\n<p>I had the Nats going 70-92, so I did pretty well with my season prediction. At the beginning of the year, would have you been pleased with a 10-game improvement? Maybe, but after starting 20-15, the last four months of the season were a letdown. Sure, there was plenty of excitement along the way, but not enough wins.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I got the radio broadcast on MLB Audio and the television broadcast synched up perfectly. <strong>Charlie Slowes<\/strong> and <strong>Dave Jageler<\/strong> were talking about pancakes and providing the same great broadcast they always do. We even got a final <strong>Tony Vega<\/strong> appearance when Wil Nieves pinch-hit late in the game. I am going to miss those guys over the winter &#8212; they better be back too.<\/p>\n<p>There is an awful lot to digest about the season and I&#8217;ll be looking back on it for some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nationals end season with 14-inning win over Mets &#8211; The Post A marathon Game 162 &#8230; again &#8211; Nats Insider The sixth Washington Nationals season concluded yesterday with a 2-1, 14th inning win over the New York Mets &#8212; the season just didn&#8217;t want to end.
